Sky Bet: Back Blues at Bury

With 34 goals in just 12 Sky Bet League Two matches last weekend, we are in for another action packed Saturday afternoon. Read on for Sky Bet’s view on where you, the fan, can profit on the matches, as well as helping your own club in the process!

Phil Brown looking for character to shine through

We mustn’t forget the start the Shrimpers had to the season, winning their first three games but four defeats in a row have had manager Phil Brown asking for more character from his team going into this weekend’s trip to Bury, and fans are hopeful of a return to form.

Goals look plentiful here with seven of Southend’s last 10 matches seeing over 2.5 goals scored, and with Brown’s men scoring in all three matches played outside of Roots Hall thus far, the Evens on offer from Sky Bet looks very generous.

Other reasons to bet:

• Southend have had win/win results in four of their last five wins. 4/1

• Southend have won seven of their last 10 matches against relegated teams. 11/5

• Southend have had both teams scoring in six of their last eight away matches. 5/6

Remember, if you haven’t already got a Sky Bet account, you can get a completely free £10 when you join and Southend will also get £10 when you make your first deposit.

As well as that, Southend will benefit as you bet throughout the season, so make sure you open your account via www.skybet.com/southend
